Canadian Indians appeal to Jesse Jackson

Page 3

Canadian Natives will run from Manitoba to Illinois to deliver a petition to Reverend Jesse Jackson.

The Run for Human Rights is scheduled to begin in late August and participants will arrive at Jackson's headquarters in Chicago on Sept. 17.

Run coordinator Terrance Nelson said the run is planned to promote the fact that the United States and Canadian governments are exploiting Native lands and resources and still

fail to recognize Aboriginal rights.

Soviet Union and European journalist will accompany the runners to publicize Natives' plight.

The Pembina nishinabe band chose to deliver the petition to Jackson because of his record on human rights.
